Lufthansa, JetBlue Begin Code-Share Operations
Published on: November 12, 2009
Lufthansa and JetBlue Airways kicked off code-share operations linking their two networks via Boston and New York. At a ceremony at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday, Nov. 11, JetBlue CEO Dave Barger and Lufthansa German Airlines CEO Christoph Franz officially launched the new partnership as the airlines welcomed their first arriving customer from Europe. The new relationship between JetBlue -- the leading airline at both JFK and Boston -- and Lufthansa -- Europe's No. 1 airline -- expands the reach of both carriers, giving customers more choice in travel and providing JetBlue customers with new access to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Worldwide connections to such popular destinations as Bangkok, Barcelona, Dubai, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Paris, Rome and Tel Aviv are now available daily via Boston and New York/JFK, where customers transfer seamlessly between domestic JetBlue flights and trans-Atlantic services operated by Lufthansa. JetBlue and Lufthansa intend to further expand their code share in 2010 by adding more JetBlue destinations to the agreement. Eligible U.S. destinations include Austin, Texas; Buffalo, N.Y.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Fort Myers, Fla.; New Orleans; Pittsburgh; Raleigh/Durham, N.C.; Rochester, N.Y.; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Syracuse, N.Y.; Tampa, Fla.; and West Palm Beach, Fla.
